Yes, Barton warns about this on their website. Not to worry, I’m extreme temperature protection-equipped.

Well, I finally did it, and it’s here. Ever since I saw the white cue-ball style manual gearshift knob on the Bullit Mustang a number of years ago, I have wanted one for my S650. But I didn’t want a flimsy resin or aluminum version. I wanted something with heft. Something weighty, befitting the...

Looks great! I found the install very easy on mine. I aligned the drain hole in the original tips with the gap between the bolt on the new tips. I did notice the sizing was a little different on each of them, and I ended up using a shim on one to keep it tight. As you've discovered, you can't...

Wow! That’s a lot of work! Kudos to you for the effort and perseverance. I used a can of black plasti-dip to do mine. Cost me 10 bucks and still looks great two years later on daily driver. I wish there was an easy way to get behind that grill. I’d like to put some LED lights back there.

This got me thinking about my automotive manual transmission resume... Austin Lancer Volkswagen Beetle Holden Gemini Holden Commodore Ford Escort Suzuki Swift Honda Civic Si Honda Civic Type R Mustang I have never had a clutch wear out, even on my 89 Escort on which I clocked well over 300K.

Fascinating! That means changing a 50-year-old practice. I was taught back in the day... never in neutral. I also ride a bike, same deal. Never in neutral. Mind you, there's more at stake on a bike if you need to take quick evasive action.

Interesting! I have no idea what a throwout bearing even is LOL. I'm going to research it. So what your saying is best practice after downshifting to a red light is to sit in neutral, clutch out?

How does holding the clutch pedal down at red lights contribute to wear? I had a vehicle many years ago that I bought brand new, and sold with over 300,000 km on it and never replace the clutch. Over 200K km on the front brake pads. Car in gear, clutch engaged at every red light.

I’m actually floored that not everybody does this. I’ve always thought downshifting was just part of driving a manual transmission. Can’t imagine doing it any other way.

I think the only time I'm in neural is while I'm warming up in the driveway. Other than that, always in gear.

Beautiful, well done!

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

I found mine were snug too, but if you unscrew the allen bolt it opens them up a little wider and makes it easier to slide them on.

Agreed. There are many circumstances where a polarizer will contribute to the clarity, definition, colour saturation of an image. My only point is that in this circumstance, reflection is your friend. Particularly if your goal is to emphasize the lines and contours of the vehicle. Removing...

Not to be a smart-ass, but on a black car reflection is part of what conveys the shape. If you look at the picture of mine, particularly down the left-hand side and the hood, you will see a lot of reflection of the environment, and this contributes to the overall perception of the shape. A...

If you don’t want to do get into a lot of post-production, here are a couple of tips for you (25 years as a professional photographer): 1. Remember that light objects have their shape defined by shadow; dark objects have their shape defined by highlights. So if you want more definition of shape...

Yup! Like I said, for ME. Totally a personal preference issue. No right or wrong.🙂

It really depends on what YOU think looks best. FWIW, I got out of a four year relationship with gloss black rims and red calipers. Never again. The fronts are hard to keep clean and always look dirty. And for ME, red calipers are kinda tired and passe.... oooh look at me, I have red calipers...

Oh wow! Are you sure you ordered the correct size? Must be 3.5 inches. At least on the OP’s car, and mine.
